night, and it has continued this morning. It's clear so far, and not

The result for Monday's test was 71 so I was sent for another blood test

Some of you have been following my Infertility issues.  I need your

And boy howdie, is she... We've nicknamed her "Snoozy" until she decides to
keep her eyes open for longer than 10 minutes at a stretch. She sleeps for

the snap base which I've really liked, but he's getting too heavy to ...

Hi Everyone, My wife had to go to a wedding in New York and I just
found out we ran out of diapers. I go to the store and see all kinds of

I swear, I better have this baby soon, or I'm going to go completely
broke.  I keep buying things so that I'll be all prepared but am going
a bit overboard at this point. :)
Anyway, this weekend I bought the Avent Isis Breast Pump as I plan to

How far along are you, and how does that make you feel?
Are you feeling and or seeing movement? Does that freak you out or are you
the type that pokes the belly to get a reaction?
Are you swelling? Are your feet changing sizes? Do you rings still fit? Or

Hi, everyone!  First, the question: how do you determine the length of your
labor?  Is there a standard, or is it however you decide you want to

-- he's at the stage where he really needs a parent *right* there
behind him, but can actually spend some time balancing against the
